QuiltFest in Pigeon Forge, TN

This Sewing Fairy will be trekking up to Pigeon Forge TN next week!!!

QUILT FEST

Monday, March 7-11th, Mon-Fri.

Not only do I get to attend quilting classes but I'm reconnecting with an old High School friend I haven't seen in 40 years!!!!  Due to Facebook, Gina and I reconnected and found out we share a passion for sewing/Quilting!!

SEW, when she mentioned her planned trip to Quilt Fest in March, I signed up ASAP.  I even got #1 Hubby to agree to come along as my chauffeur.  He will entertain himself by fishing in the Pigeon River behind our Hotel while I'm taking 4 different classes during the week. Of course, I have plenty of free time built into my itinerary...time to shop, attend some shows, and sight see....AS WELL AS CHAT WITH AN OLD FRIEND!!

Take a Look See, 

here is my new Diet Plan which should work well for the hills of Tennesse!  I would normally forget about dieting on vacation but since #1 Hubby's Diabetes numbers didn't come back with a good report today, I guess it means we will be eating responsibly next week.  I don't intend to be a widow if I can help it and I sure don't want to see #1 having to begin taking insulin shots.  He has done so well the past 8 yrs and has avoided taking shots.  Both of us need to lose weight...YUCK!..food is such a vice for me!

OH LOOK!!  ANOTHER DIET PLAN!!

I am having Camera troubles and in fact, it may have died!  I'm thinking that Grandson Scott may have taken one too many "say cheese" pics.  I had just taken pics of my kitchen vintage linen finds at an antique store over the weekend.  I love tea towels from the 50's and embroidered napkins, aprons, etc..and I was so ecstatic when I found some genuine articles.  Some were not the real deal but I liked them anyway and that's all that matters to me.  If I like an item and the price is right, I buy it regardless of the authenticity. 

I probably will not post until I get back from Quiltfest!!  I'm hoping my camera issues can be resloved so I can bring back a plethora of Quilt Fest Pictures!

It's time to take a break and spend quality time with #1 Hubby and an old friend.  People and relationships are the most important thing in our lives.  Last week brought home the importance of relationships and telling those you love they are important to you before it's too late.  

Please pray for a blogging friend from *Count it All Joy*, who lost a newborn Grandchild this past week due to a tragic cord issue one week past her daughter's due date.  My DIL lost her elderly Grandfather (complications of West Nile Virus, if you can believe that!)and another dear dear friend is losing her battle with a brain tumor.

Therefore, I'm taking this next week to reconnect, meditate, quilt, and enjoy some early Spring time in the Smokey Mountains.

Blessings
